No news for now regarding Jack Moir, Nik Nestoroff, and Charlie Harrison. Some of these riders may still have agreements in place that cover 2018, we haven't been able to dig up that information at this point. Stay tuned!
He said they are both there for a Red Bull event, but here's Rude featured in Gwin's instagram story yesterday, for all your conspiracy theorists out there:
Just in case you missed it, Jerome Clementz, winner of the the very first EWS season overall series and sick shredder in general, is going to be "transitioning out of full time racing" next year, to focus on other projects. Check his interview in the latest EWS slide show for more.
Well, Radon posted this on their facebook page. Some rider with their upcoming enduro bike.
"Some rider" is Joost 'The #Boost' Wichman who I think works and rides for Radon already, so nothing new there, although would be interesting to see if they do anything with a team to promote/test their new bike
Muddy did have a pretty bad year, sucks when you finally get on a factory team and then your results are worse than the year before. I guess sometimes it better to be the underdog
Damn, Trek and/or Athertons must have a cut-throat contract. He didn't do great, but he did better than some riders on the circuit on factory contracts that don't even make it to the race on sundays. Wasn't he running the 29er from early on in the season? He seemed to fit well with the team, so this seems pretty harsh.
In his Instagram post he got mad at people asking if he was off trek... He replied with some vague comment about how there is a few months left in the race season....
When Mudd was first signed there was a quote from Gee that went as follows... "We’re always alert to emerging potential and there were some flashes of brilliance in Muddy’s 2016 season, it was obvious that he is our kind of hard-wired racer. At Hardline we got chance to spend some time with him and the whole team became huge fans. We’re really looking forward to seeing how the increased support impacts on his 2017 results.”
I would find it really weird for the Athertons to bring him on as someone they saw had potential but just needed more time training and a better opportunity to be with a proper race team and all the things that come with it only to make the decision to kick him off the team after one year when honestly nobody on that Trek team had a season to be super happy about....
If he was leaving Trek my guess is he had some hard conversations with himself if this was still what he really wanted to do and that if he was having as much fun as he thought he would. Maybe its more he's just gonna go home and spend the off season thinking about what's next... who knows but to say he is off the team with the way things are being shown on social media with him and the Athertons is a little too much cart in front of the horse when it comes to Headline worthy news.

pretty sure he's just quoting some song lyrics to comment on loic's peach-like posterior.

Bruni signed 3 years with specialized. I’m almost certain Finn did too but since he is moving to elite in 2018 I will be curious to see how that plays out.

Finn signed with Gravity Republic when he was a sub-junior, completing his first season with the team just as a sweep rider. He's been with the team 3 years now so his contract is up.

Don't Gwin and Rude also share a trainer or something?
whit Manon retirement,is possible Radon pick up Eleonora Farina on board?This year is on fire and ready for one big team!!!
This summarizes all that is wrong in Pro Cycling. Get a multi million dollar sponsor for crying out loud....
